I think it is a travesty of justice that Keisha JOnes got a life sentence for running her husband down with a car I think it was an accident at best. I hope she gets her appeal. I pray for her and her family.

they had to convict her on the evidence, not the great love she had for him. she thought her love would sway the jury. she had to turn the suv at a 90 degree angle, that means she was intentionally chasing him. she should’ve took the 10 years, instead of rolling the dice on a life sentence.

I agree that I do not think it was intentional. I think she was over-intoxicated and unable to judge the turn. I also saw the heels she had on, mix that with alcohol…! It is sad that the children lost both parents that night. I believe she should be punished, but I don’t think she deserves life.

This is so sad. I just finished watching this episode on snapped and I feel that she was railroaded. First of all she had heels on and I wear high heels while driving on sundays and I know how careful you have to adjust your driving, so I usually take them off til I get where I’m going. But!!! due to the fact that she was intoxicated and wearing heels, I strongly feel it was an accident. She didn’t mean to kill that man she loved him. They were just having a moment! If she was any other race than black, trust me the outcome would have been different. Why would they take her away from her babies like that, Why? Because we all know that black women don’t take care of their kids…..reflecting back to Twelve Years a Slave. The mentality of the slave masters wife when the women was so despondent about being separated from her children. “you’ll forget about them soon enough!” Damn Shame. Yes punish her but don’t make her spend the rest of her life in Muncy of all places.

It is such a sad story. I think maybe anger caused her to want to speed off along with the alcohol and it is possible the shoe heel got caught but I do not think she wanted him to die. I don’t even think she meant to hit him. Too me it was involuntary man slaughter. Keisha is not a murderer. She needs to see if she can get a pardon from the president because I really do not think the appeals will be granted. Once the president is about to leave office he will grant some prisoners pardons based on their crime and the situation and evidence. It’s worth a try. What does she have to lose? Her attorney should be able to assist her with it.

I’ve watched the video atleast 20x and I still don’t believe it was intentional. The wheels of the SUV were already turned and facing that angle. None of us know exactly how she was feeling but most, if not all of us, have been involved in an argument with our significant other over the same topic. I believe she, just wanted to get out f there as quickly as possible so she jumped over, put the car in drive, and hit the gas. You can tell by how fast the car moved that she was in the driver’s seat in seconds. All she wanted to do was drive away from him in that moment. Also, on Snapped they said his family was happy with the verdict. That just shows that they miss their son/brother/etc and are going through the stages of grief. If they thought, even for a second, that she was bad to him and for him, wouldn’t they testify or read an open letter in court-something?

I think the penalty was very harsh! I think her sentence should have been 3rd degree due to the fact that alcohol also played a factor in her ability to think.

She had no reason, they were on a date. I think the alcohol impaired the speed she was driving at. She may in a bit of anger meant to tap him or scare him, but kill No! Keisha I hope u c this n learn from ur mistake. But I do hope that one day ur released from prison. U do NOT deserve life. Maybe 5 yrs for the drunk driving, which accidentally caused ur husband’s life but that’s it.

There are 2 sides to every story, and this side was not shown to me on the TV show. I think the girl in the back seat heard Tyrone say this to Keisha before he got out of the car and again, it was not shown in the TV show. She felt Keisha was guilty also. But with all that said, I am just going on what was related to me in the TV show and my heart tells me she is innocent. But like i said…that is coming from someone who has seen one side of the story. They did not make her out to be a monster on the show but i see you feel she is a monster…and you knew her. I am confused as to what I should believe now. The documentary Paradise Lost also did the same thing. They had me believing they were innocent until I learned all the facts online and not just from the documentary. I guess hearing all the facts before making a decision is the best choice. What is your side of the story? I think it need to be told.

I don’t believe Keisha intended to kill Tyrone. I believe when Tyrone got out of the car and she climbed over to drivers side she might have turned the wheel by accident and when accelerated (trying to speed off) she went in his direction and because of drinking her reaction was not quick enough to get control of the vehicle before crashing. I do hope she gets and wins her appeal. May Tyrone R.I.P and prayers to his family.

NOTE FROM BLOG OWNER,
For all of you wanting Keisha to win her appeal and be released, I think you are misunderstanding appeals. Technically, it is no longer about guilt or innocence. An appeal is about mistakes made in the trial process. Usually no new evidence can be admitted. However, that also does depend on the laws in each state, and I don’t know Pennsylvania’s laws. I am not sure how things go in Pennsylvania, but she may be able to get a hearing to reduce her sentence. Many states do that.

Her attorney was negligent in having her not to take the plea deal for Murder in the 3rd degree. This would have resulted in a 10-15 year sentence MUCH better than a life sentence without the possibility of parole!! Lets be honest she took a life and has to pay for this. The law in Philly is that if you are convicted of 1st degree murder then the penalty is life without parole. Plain and simple!!!! Keisha took the gamble and she lost. Plain and simple!!!!

This is a tragedy, I can’t imagine what either of them where thinking. Why he got out of the car when he was the driver. If the driver gets out of course your going to take over the wheel. The way she drove the car across the intersection onto the curb she and her cousin could have been killed if there was another car coming. From the video it looks as if she meant to hit him with that damn car. I feel for him the kids and Keisha. Seems as if she is overall a good person that was not thinking clear in the heat of the moment. Should’ve been temporary insanity. Dispite the lost of his life, Life in prision, No I don’t think that was the proper answer. Now you have four kids who will grow up angry and confused. If there is anything that was missed or mistaken in this case God please have mercy on Keisha Jones. Mrs. Jones you have my prayers as well as your husband R.I.P. and those helpless children that their future not be smudged. I pray that she does not give up hope and let haters be just that.

The Bible says…”Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil” (Psalm 37:8). In other words, Stop being mad, reject rage: Worry not ourselves with any intelligence to do bad things (evil things). I watched Snapped last night and it disturbed my rest. I believe there are Believers praying for her mistakes: the drinking, flirting, arguing, and the tragedy accident. All of us have fallen short. Let him (her) who has not sinned to cast the first stone. Believers continue to pray for Ms. Jones, the children, and Mr. Taylor’s families. Be encouraged to know that there is a Higher Judge who has not forgotten about Ms. Jones.
I believe she wanted to scare him, and perhaps in the past he has gotten out of the way of the vehicle. This time, he didn’t. Both of them had been drinking. Rage is serious and it can cause problems that we cannot fix or take back. Believers pray for her heart. I believe her feelings were hurt when he decided to go to a relative’s home and she didn’t know how to express to him calmly that she wanted him to come home with her. Pray without ceasing. She lost her best friend, her husband, and her children’s father. May the Lord have mercy and grant her peace.

I feel bad for keisha because I can see how something like this could happen I was so angry with him but I love him and still do so I. Was not aiming to kill him. I think his death was a mistake. I believe she possibly meant to hit him or steer the car toward him but I certainly think she did not want to kill him. And her story is such a shame. May god bless her and her family as well as him and his family.

You make it sound like all men are bad. They are not. Most men are good human beings with good hearts. Only some are abusive. Please don’t make it sound otherwise. That is insulting to those men that are good men. It is just like saying all women are crazy bitches and no one should be involved with them. Where would society be if men and women did not ever get together? Society would die out. Remember, without men, there would be no children, either.

I am not saying ALL men are bad, Im just saying how we woman can do good without a man. I have watched women go from single, happy, healthy, and successful, then boom here comes a man. Even good men can become a burden on a woman. I have also met some good men, but will I allow them in my life? No, I am majoring in Forensics, own my own home, almost my car, and I have friends and family who love me, so I think i’m doing damn good without a man. I’ve watched too many episodes of SNAPPED, other t.v shows, and even in real life how a woman loses her life to Prison, low self esteem, happiness, or even death because of a man. Yes I am aware that there will be no more children, like we don’t need a break from that for a while. But all I was saying how good we can be without them, i know people are going to still date or marry, just not me. I don’t want to take that risk of being unhappy or lose all i have worked hard for because i allowed a man in my life.

As someone who has regretfully been in an accident after drunk driving in high heels it is very hard to gain control once u have lost it. To me the video actually does look like an accident. The acceleration of it was exactly what happened to me when I hit two parked cars. I was trying to turn and I stepped on the gas my heel got caught I couldn’t get to the brake in time and it was too late. I feel so sorry for her I don’t think she meant to kill him at all and I hope she gets a better verdict at an appeal

After watching her story, I can’t get it off my mind. This was an accident and the sentence was ridiculous. I have seen shows where people are driving their cars into buildings and other cars by mistake because they can’t stop or lose control of the wheel or gas pedal. They continue through coffee shops and stores taking out people as they ram on through. These people didn’t mean to demolish what was in their path, but they just couldn’t stop. If you watch Keisha’s video in real time, she is going so fast, it all happened in seconds. If you watch the video in slow motion…it takes forever and looks intentional. Did she turn the wheel all the way to the right trying to climb over into the drivers seat and not realize it until she stepped on the gas? What went wrong? So many questions unanswered. Shame on the Jury for giving this lady life. I hope they can’t sleep at night. I wish there was something I could do to help Keisha because I know within my heart she DID NOT mean to kill her husband. This is one case that will stay with me forever.

I feel sorry for Keisha. I just saw the episode and it had me in tears. On the show it showed that when he got out and she got over she was fumbling with the peddles. But did anyone see that it lookes like when he parked the car on the opposite side of the street it looks like the wheels were turned out. So when she started to pull off the car automatically went that way. If she is as short as they described and she had on those high heels they could have gotten stuck or anything. I would understand them punishing her for being intoxicated but I dont feel that life in prison for first degree murder is right. I feel she loved her husband and would not intentionally have tried to kill him. Her lawyers should have done a little more research on her case. I know it will not bring him back to her, there children, or his family but right is right n wrong is wrong. I feel they are wrong. Even his own mom said how she loved him. Praying that she gets an appeal and they can come up with some new evidence and get her out or get her sentence substantially reduced so she can get home to her children. She will already have to live with this for the rest of her life anyways and there children without him. Justice will prevail and she will be with her babies.

I can understand why she wouldn’t. If you were in court for an accident and they wanted you to plead guilty even if you weren’t would you? Would you be able to live everyday knowing that everyone knows you plead guilty to killing someone? That any job you would apply for would see you as a murder? You can NEVER get that label removed, you would always be seen as a murderer even if no one but you knows.
She didnt want that for herself or her kids. Pleading guilty to something that she (possibly) didnt do is no way to go about life. Her kids would always be the children of a murderer. Parents would fear for their kids lives and they would be outcasts, no one would go to play or hang with them because they fear she’d kill them.
If you were in her situation and you didn’t do this on purpose, you wouldn’t plead guilty either. She fought til the end because she knew she was innocent.

This woman had an alcohol level considerably greater than the legal limit, and was emotionally and physically incapable of safely driving a car. This is no excuse, but she had no intention of all, in my opinion, of hurting let alone killing the love of her life. The video shows the very fast turn of the situation, but how on earth could this have been premeditated and intentional? I would have asked each and every one of those jurors that if they could not look Ms Jones in the eye, and truly say this loving wife and mother would intentionally kill her beloved husband; they must think twice. It is clear how much she loved her husband, and she had an abundance of people to vouch for her, including members of Tyrone’s family. Conviction of first degree murder is a joke. Ms Jones has children she loves more than anything, and they now have no parent to guide them through life and experience both its pleasures and hardships. She is prone to winning her appeal based on the circumstances; if not, I don’t know what the justice system is all about.

You don’t where 6 inch heels and you’re not a short female driving an SUV, upset and intoxicated. I feel really bad for this woman. I feel bad for Tyrone as well but that does not mean that Kiesha should be in jail until she dies.

Usually, these blacks have lots of relatives and friends who are criminals and thugs so to sit on a jury makes them against criminal behavior.
Whether it was an accident or intention, Keisha didn’t even take into consideration that he was walking away from her. He was no threat to her whatsoever. He didn’t yell and cuss her out. He didn’t punch or slap her. Nor did he throwbher tothe ground. And look at what he getsvfor walking away from an angry black female. Keisha’s locked up because Keisha had anger issues which lead to her being out of control the night she used a car as a weapon to kill her boyfriend.

In the heat of passion, we do things we wouldn’t do if we were thinking reasonably. Unfortunately for Mrs. Jones, she was mad at that moment and wanted to hit her husband. She just never thought of the consequences that would bring. It looks like all lawyers involved (prosecutors and defense) saw this and offered her a deal, (10 years), because even though it was in the heat of passion, a man died. We cannot let her off just because she was angry in that moment. Mrs. Jones decided she did not want to serve any time and took her chances. No lawyer can make a client take a deal. Her family did not want her to take the deal either. This is one of the consequences of drinking too much. Tyrone chose to get out of the car and walk away. Keisha chose to get in the drivers seat and vent her anger. Sorry for both families.

I cried even before I heard the verdict I cried for Keisha her children.her mother her immediate familyI cried for Tyrone family as well and most of all I cried for the loss of his life but surely within my heart I cried…Keisha did not deserve first degree murder. sentence to life……it was an accident..believe you me from experience I know with in a split second being intoxicated behind the wheel of a vehicle horrific things can happen but again Justice was not served yes she should have been dealt with accordingly but not first-degree murder.in my eyes she was only looking for her love and when she made that turn it was too late…he was right there….too late to break too late to go back too late…wearing those heels..driving while intoxicated…frantically looking for her love not to kill him …..unfortunately again she should not be convicted of murder first degree…I say this with all respect to both families God bless and to Tyrone….RIP

Alvin,
The President cannot pardon Keisha Jones. He can only pardon federal prisoners. You would need to either write to the Governor.

I feel that the sentence was too stiff! I believe that she didn’t intentionally murder her husband and that she loved him.

This was a very sad and emotional episode to watch. I don’t feel she deserved a life sentence. Yes she took a life but I really feel it wasn’t intentionally done. I believe she’s remorseful and will have to live with the consequences for the rest of her life. I wish she would have taken the plea at least she would have been able to get out to be a mother to her children. That video was so intense and powerful that’s what did it. I will go on praying for her, the children, and that she get an appeal.

I don’t believe Keisha intended to kill her husband.I believe she loved him.I do believe she was drunk which is against the law and I believe because she was drunk some freakish things happen which caused her husbands death….I saw she got a new trial and I was hoping that they would go easy, but she was almost forced to plead guily to 3rd degree murder and the judge gave her 15 to 30 years.

I just watched the ‘Snapped’ episode featuring Keisha Jones (on New Zealand tv). I was shocked to see the guilty verdict and have attempted to find details of the re-trial (I’m not very computer-savvy!).
I truly believe Keisha didn’t deliberately kill her husband and that it was indeed a tragic accident fuelled by alcohol. My heart goes out to her dear children more than anything.
So often it seems that the side presenting the most colourful story wins the case!! I speak from personal experience. I was accused and convicted of a crime I didn’t commit. I served 3 yrs of a 5.5yr sentence and fully understand the tragedy of a wrongful arrest/conviction. I will never be able to describe the pain of being separated from my precious young children.
Please can you tell me what you may know about the outcome of the re-trial?

I just got finished watching this story on Snapped. I think that this is a terrible case all around. I feel bad for the children most of all. I think she should have done no more than ten years. I’m sure she meant to do harm out of anger & not being sober, But I highly doubt she meant to kill him. This is clearly poor judgement that led to a terrible concequence. Now unless she gets an appeal her children will be mother & fatherless. The justice system is truly flawed! I pray she wins her appeal.

That is such a senseless thing that happen see what happens when we have alcohol in our system we don’t think and our judgment is not ad good as when we are sober. I pray that the family is well because they will get through this

I personally knew Kiesha, and watched her grow up. Everything that was said about her character was not the person I had come to know. She was very respectful, loving and her children and husband were her whole life. I had the pleasure of meeting her husband after my nieces wedding. I remember seeing them sitting on the steps hugging one another and I remember saying to my best friend that” Those two are in love”. It was then that I was told that they were married. Look people, it’s so ugly how the police cover up Real evidence and statements to make people like Kiesha Jones look guilty of purposefully setting out to kill. She was granted a new trial because it was discovered that the jury wasn’t allowed to hear Kieshas full police statement during her trial. The prosecutor only played bits in pieces from it that made it seem like she only confessed to purposefully meaning to kill him, when in reality the heal of her shoe got lodged, forcing her to bear down on the gas pedal preventing her from stopping the car. She never even saw Tyrone walking in front of the car. The video made it look like she turned into him on purpose, instead of her losing control because her foot got stuck. Easy to judge people based on media, police reports with knowing the real truth. She was a 32yr old mother who loved her family and although she was not perfect or even close to it because no one is, I know she loves that man and his death was an accident. I pray for that young girl and all the thousands of people who are and have been wrongly judged and coerced into making false statements and unjustly convicted based on the police departments inadequacy and our court systems bullcrap. It was an accident!! Stop being so naive and gullible. There are so many innocent people in jail. That video only shows the struggle outside the car. There’s no video or voice recording for what actually happened inside that car after he got out.

I just saw this on Snapped. Did y’all notice how soon the truck started moving forward after Tyronne got out? In 3 to 4 seconds she hopped from the passenger seat to the driver seat, put the truck in gear, turned the wheel and hit the gas before Tyronne got half way across the street. How can you do all that and call it an accident? You can’t. Guilty!

YES! I noticed that as well. Seems as though Keisha’s shoes didn’t get in her way when she jumped from one seat to the next. She went after Tyrone in a matter of seconds. I truly believe Keisha ran him over on purpose.

I am trying to locate up to date information re: Keisha Jones’ case. If she truly wanted to be with her children, she should have JUMPED on that 10-15 year offer!!! How on EARTH she would think that the jury would find her not guilty when the entire incident was caught on TAPE is beyond me. I bet she will jump on it if they offer it AGAIN!!!

TY. I think she had crappy legal representation. And to be charged with possession of a deadly weapon (the car) is absolutely ridiculous.

What if Tyrone was a child and the person driving used a vehicle to go after someone standing near the child and they were both struck? It’s not ridiculous to be charged with using a car as a weapon. However, it’s senseless for a person, drunk or not, to use a vehicle to cause bodily harm towards others.

Anyone who is getting there opinion off of snapped is a damn fool, every episode is geared towards making the woman sound innocent and excusing away there actions. Other stories state she even admitted to hurting him more then once why should it be surprising that she went further and killed him. Let’s all get one thing straight if this was a man who ran over his wife you would be calling for his head, there is no excuse for what she did and is guilty as sin. No one accidently turns 90 degrees and accelerates by accident, she deserves nothing but contempt. You people feeling sorry for this woman are sickening SHE TOOK A LIFE at least she still has hers unlike the man she murdered. Why do all of you people seem to think woman can do no wrong??

This story is truly heartbreaking…I honestly am severely torn if this were a drunken stupor or something deep within made prevalent during the drunken stupor. I think she was maybe a bit upset from something that occurred while out and her perception was askew as she drove. Why did she jump in the driver’s seat? Were there someone there to stop her perhaps? I have so many questions and so many mixed feelings and emotions about this tragedy. I am not surprised she was found guilty though…I do pray for families involved and suffer to cope, heal and move forward after this most unfortunate situation.
